A healthy alternative to fried potatoes

Sweet potatoes are sliced, tossed in organic coconut oil and roasted to crispy perfection. Serve these healthy baked fries with the sweet tahini dip for a healthy side dish or snack.

These coconut sweet potato fries are going to blow your mind! We took fresh sweet potatoes and sliced them into wedges, then tossed them in healthy organic coconut oil. We baked these fries instead of deep-frying them, and the result is still crispy on the outside soft on the inside french fries. We made a unique dip for our fries using tahini, which is a sesame paste and resembles peanut butter. You don’t have to feel guilty after these!
